    Lotus Temple, New Delhi

    The Bahá'í House of Worship is popularly known as the Lotus Temple because of its flower-like shape. The temple has attracted more than 70 million visitors since it opened in 1986, making it one of India's most visited attractions.

    Though formally built as a temple for members of the Bahá'í faith, it welcomes visitors of all religious denominations. Designed by Iranian architect Fariborz Sahba, the structure consists of 27 free-standing "petals" arranged in clusters to form a nine-sided temple.

Thank you for the sculptural images of the buildings. My architecture students will now understand what it means when we talk about "building- OUT OF BOX"!
Unfortunately, I was not able to print the entire image...Are you blocking the printing process?
